After buying the game, I’ve only played a few hours in the dragon’s egg dungeon (10 floors) and have already tried the dragon’s cradle dungeon (30 floors) after obtaining and upgrading what i thought was decent enough to try, turns out it was not even close to being decently enough. There are new enemies, that you havent seen yet from the first and only dungeon that you would enter many times before, and you find out the hard way that you arent even properly equipped and ready to deal with them, since some of the new enemies requires a different damaging method to be able to kill them.
First boss on floor 10 (i think) was already a struggle as there are way to many enemies coming to attack you and you dont really have much to deal with them besides using the paralysis staff, also you dont really earn much exp to level up through the regular floors as you rarely even see an enemy at any one time (besides at higher floors where you’re pretty much already outmatched by then) and also have to worry about your dragon time (movement limit) so you just end up moving onto the next floor regardless.
I understand that stepping and activating the trap “spring” makes you drop multiple items of yours at random, but it can also make you drop your equipped weapon and shied too…???
It would be nice if there was an item that lets you exit the dungeon with all your items, since you lose all your items when you die and there is no way to retrieve them, not even the in-game gold currency can be saved where i could use it to buy the lost items, if there was a shop for that to begin with anyways. I highly doubt anyone would want to grind again from literally scratch if there wasnt this option at the least.
The way the item storage is set up is such a hassle and so annoying, all the items are manually placed or thrown onto the ground ONE AT A TIME, instead of in a box or npc where you can put away many items at once and then just scroll as a list or whatsoever.
It also doesnt seem like you have access to better equipments and items in the dragon’s egg dungeon besides when you enter the harder dungeon, where you would actually prefer having some of those items before enter any harder dungeons.
I also dont get why there is only two dungeons at the start, dragon’s egg and dragon’s cradle. I was able to unlock the special dungeons after reaching a certain floor in the dragon’s cradle dungeon, but why do those dungeon even cost $5 to unlock still, and there seems to be a total of six individual special dungeons too. I mean, i already purchased the game for $10 thinking that i would get majority of the game features besides those optional in-app stat boosts and strong items.
As it is in my opinion, the game is not worth buying for now until at least some helpful features are added due to the hassles and later difficulties in the dungeons. I actually enjoy roguelike games such as this where they are harder in a sense, but this is wayyy too unforgiving, especially with not much features to help in some ways.
